Serge Gnabry has reportedly turned down the chance to sign a lucrative deal at Bayern Munich, with the attacker's future at Allianz Arena now being called into question.
The 26-year-old has again been an important player for the Bundesliga champions during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 16 times and registering 10 assists in 43 appearances in all competitions.
Gnabry only has little over a year left to run on his contract with Bayern, though, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future over the last few months.
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the Germany international, while Arsenal are also believed to be considering making an attempt to bring him back to the club.
According to Bild, Bayern have offered the attacker the chance to double his salary to a figure in the region of £14m.
The proposed new deal would place the German alongside Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane in terms of the highest earners at Allianz Arena, but Gnabry allegedly does not view the wage packet as a priority.

The report claims that the forward does not currently feel valued by Bayern and is unsure whether he will be a key player for the club moving forward.
Gnabry initially joined Arsenal from Stuttgart in 2011 but failed to become a first-team regular for the club, only making 18 appearances in all competitions before leaving for Werder Bremen.
An impressive spell in Bremen led to Bayern signing him in 2017, and he has scored 63 goals and registered 40 assists in 169 appearances for the Munich giants during a successful spell.
Arsenal could reportedly press ahead with a move for Gnabry if they manage to secure a top-four spot in the Premier League, which would bring Champions League football for next season.
The Gunners are believed to be preparing a busy summer window, with a deal for Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus already allegedly agreed, as both Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette could leave on free transfers, while the futures of a number of other players are in question.

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte, meanwhile, has reportedly told the North London club that he needs six new players during this summer's transfer window in order to compete next term.
Spurs are also said to be admirers of Gnabry, with a recent report claiming that the club were planning to make an approach during this summer's transfer window.
Arsenal and Tottenham are currently battling for fourth spot in the Premier League table, with the former two points ahead of their capital rivals on the same number of games (33).
Real Madrid have also been credited with an interest in Gnabry, although the Spanish giants are thought to have other priorities, including Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe.
